When Elon Musk announced plans to expand xAI's Colossus AI supercomputer from 100,000 GPUs today to 1 million GPUs in the future, the plan seemed overwhelming. But xAI will not be alone in having such a gargantuan supercomputer. Broadcom predicts that three of its clients, among hyperscalers, will deploy AI supercomputers with one million XPUs in fiscal 2027.
"As you know, we currently have three hyperscale customers who have developed their own multi-generational AI XPU roadmap to be deployed at varying rates over the next three years," said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom, at the company's Q4 2024 earnings call. "In 2027, we believe each of them plans to deploy 1,000,000 XPU clusters across a single fabric."
